Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. FIFTY YEARS OF S**T ROBOTS is a podcast that celebrates them all. In today's episode we frolic in the waters of the 1930s and look at THE VANISHING SHADOW and THE PHANTOM EMPIRE. Hosted by writer and broadcaster, Matt Brown and Stephen Murray, senior lecturer in TV, Film & Journalism at Teeside University.
WARNING! The S**t-bomb is sometimes uttered but nothing more.
